Upcoming Films

DC are really struggling to compete with Marvel.

DC have been fucked by the fact that their two main properties had been done already. Marvel started with a more or less clean slate and could build a 'cinematic universe' (fuck I hate that term) while anything DC did was going to be compared to Reeve's Superman and Burton and Nolan's Batman.

Christian Bale transforming his body again to play Dick Cheney.

 

[manwiththestick]

Looks like a thumb.

[Trumo]

Put a goatee on him and you get Stone Cold.

[Elite]

He's a cunt but a committed cunt.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

This one is being released by Netflix on 22 Dec. Looks half decent. 

 

[Elite]

Will Smith? I'm out.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Will Smith? I'm out.

 

I know what you mean mate but I tend to look past that, otherwise you run the risk of missing out on a good film. I fucking hate John Travolta, but if I boycotted films off the back of that I'd have missed out on some very good films. 

[Bjornebye]

Cant wait for 'The Irishman'.

True

 

I like Travolta but he's definitely a marmite type.

[Elite]

Cant wait for 'The Irishman'.

Is that the new Scorcese one?

[RedKnight]

And I thought San Andreas was bad. Of all video games to adapt they pick Rampage, it's as bad when Battleship became Tim Riggins vs. aliens.

[G Richards]

Going to see Wonder with Mrs G and kids tomorrow.

[Elite]

Going to see Wonder with Mrs G and kids tomorrow.

I don't like watching films like that. They can be quite upsetting and the hollywood endings aren't realistic.

[Hand Shandy]

Plus it's got Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson in it and is supposed to be shit...

[Hand Shandy]

I like the Marvel films - well most of them - and that looks good.

 

Plus Thanos doesn't look as shit as I feared he might.

[RedKnight]

Looks fun as shit.

[Special K]

Just not feeling that Avengers trailer. I'm bored of them now

[Lee909]

Looks great to me

 

Marvel have generally done great with there films and TV shows on the whole.

 

Tempted to go watch Thor again on friday. I still have not seen Justice League but really not enthused by it at all

[Special K]

I haven't seen Thor, Wonder Woman or Justice League. Just haven't got round to it as opposed to ignoring them.

 

They just don't thrill me as much as the early ones did.

[Lee909]

Wonder woman was superb and Thor was GOTG type. Very funny in places

Quentin Tarantino just struck a deal with Sony to distribute his new Charles Manson film. Production on the project isn’t expected to begin until the middle of the next year, however, and Tarantino is apparently biding his time by beginning to work on his next project — which may also be his last.

 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tarantino has a pitch for a Star Trek film and has shared his vision with J.J. Abrams. THR adds that the duo have plans to bring together a writers room to develop the film for Paramount, with Tarantino intending to direct.

 

Abrams helmed the first two installments of the rebooted Star Trek film franchise with 2009’s Star Trek and 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness. He also produced the third film, the Justin Lin-directed 2016’s Star Trek Beyond, and remains involved in the franchise — even as he preps Star Wars: Episode IX. Paramount has already announced a fourth installment in the franchise starring Chris Pine, but no director is currently attached.

 

Tarantino is a self-described super fan of the original Star Trek series. “The only thing that limited them was their ’60s budget and eight-day shooting schedule,” he said of the series a 2015 interview with Nerdist. “You could take some of the classic Star Trek episodes and easily expand them to 90 minutes or more and really do some amazing, amazing stuff.” Tarantino also waxed nostalgic over the time travel-focused episode from Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, “Yesterday’s Enterprise”, which he described as as one of the best Star Trek episodes ever written.

 

If Tarantino does end up directing Star Trek, it would mark his tenth film. He previously said he intends to retire after his tenth film, saying in 2016, “Drop the mic. Boom. Tell everybody, ‘Match that shit. Hopefully, the way I define success when I finish my career is that I’m considered one of the greatest filmmakers that ever lived. And going further, a great artist, not just filmmaker.”

 

Tarantino has also expressed interest in “Bonnie and Clyde-esque” tale set in 1930’s Australia. It’s unclear where that project stands. As for the Manson film, it’s set for release on August 9th, 2019 — the 50th anniversary of the Tate murders.

Releasing the film on the anniversary of the murders seems a little sick imo. Cheap publicity stunt
